Most of these are one time rather than ongoing requirements, and are 
minimal to ensure the rapid implementation of the technologies needed 
to bring emergency help to wireless callers throughout the United 
States. In establishing these requirements, the Commission balanced 
consumers' need for dependable, speedy access to 911 services with 
carriers' need for flexibility in providing emergency services. The 
actions were taken in response to concerns raised by the initial Report 
and Order.
